De Jongh under the posts for his second off a clever inside run.

Bit of a question mark over that. Ball may have gone forward off Blake. But well,done Rebels. Lots of continual pressure.

Rebels finally get a try. Well deserved but fantastic Stormers defence.

Stormers must be close to a yellow. Lots of infringements inside their 22.

Rebels doing better than I expected. It's not exactly a strong Rebels side and they have actually stretched the Stormers at times.

My seat was pretty high and the Tahs were warming up on the opposite side from me, so I had issues identifying some of their players. There was this one guy warming up with a heavily strapped knee and he could barely run. As he warmed up it got better but it was clear that he was carrying a bad...

Don't know. They've turned down a heap of penalties so far. Good luck to the Rebels but the Stormers defence is holding strong.

To clarify, it was sickening. Aplon just slumped. Surely after being knocked clen out players should have to go off for safety reasons.

Aplon knocked out by his own player. Unfortunate elbow. Why the hell isn't he off?

Hilgendorf is looking pretty good. Back to his Force days from a few years ago.

This is what I thought too. The only other thing in his factor is Barnes slipped into it. Will be touch and go if he gets suspended.

The crowd announcer said it about four times before the match started. Those who arrived right before kickoff wouldn't have known I guess. Nothing like getting there 90 mins before kick off to find out the prematch game was moved!

Yeah great call from the ref to override the AR. 30 to 16. 2 to go.

Too many hogs in the Brumbies backlines most of the time.

That is not a great Force team, though. Pocock, their best player, is out. Hodgson, one of their top players, is out. Wykes is also missing. I hope the Force can get the ball to their back three a bit more, as they are probably the main danger for the Force. The problem is the Force...

10 to 15 minute you tube clips every couple of weeks showing in depth tactics from a team would be fabulous from G&GR. Similar to what Austin and co. do now, but more depth and longer analyses. Some fancy overlays like Kafer has would be nice though. Kafer's time is limited, so I don't know...

Tyrell is an interesting one. I would've classified him as a journeyman based on his appearances for the Force. He is comfortably behind Whitaker and Charles in my book. I haven't seen him in Cardiff, but I would be surprised if he's much better. edit: especially considering that I heard that...

They had an NRL one on Fox Sports which was fairly interesting. Problem is that it has a limited life as there is only so many tactics you can talk for 30 mins to an hour each week without getting repetitive.

Actually, with Hooper on board there's really only room for one of Cutch, Alcock and Jenkins, but as far as I am aware both Cutch and Alcock both have a contract for next year. Of those 4, as you said Jenkins has the least utility value so I'd assume he's gone. If the Rebels don't pick up one...

One line summary: when the ARU gave control back to the NSWRU the NSWRU's first act was to vote every single ARU rep off the board, and stick Arvid Peterson in charge instead. The story I heard is that some of the ARU reps were not too happy to be immediately removed. As Lindommer alluded to...
